Martin Kenney & Co—Andrew Gilliland

Firm appoints new head of litigation
Martin Kenney & Co has promoted  Andrew Gilliland to head of litigation. Andrew has been with the firm for nearly 12 years and was admitted to practice as a solicitor in England and Wales in 2004, and later also qualified as a solicitor advocate. His practice includes all contentious aspects of commercial and insolvency law.


He is regularly instructed in large multi-jurisdictional commercial disputes involving jurisdictions such as Cyprus, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Switzerland, France, Bermuda, the Netherlands, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Cayman, Belize, Dominica, Antigua, Brazil and Turkey. 

In addition, Andrew is often instructed to act in both arbitration proceedings and in the enforcement of high value awards from the world’s leading arbitration jurisdictions. 

Managing partner, Martin Kenney, said: ‘Andrew has more than stepped up to the task these past months, capably leading his team during one of our busiest periods. I’m delighted to confirm his formal appointment as head of litigation. I think we can all agree Andrew has done a stirling job.’
